Thanks Alchemica, I ended up contacting the manufacturer (Taotronics) who assured me:

Can you please post the text here, as article is behind paywall.

A while back I invested in a humidifier for indoor plants, because somebody on Gardening Australia (a guest presenter specialising in indoor plants) recommended one. The one I ended up getting ($50 delivered from eBay, 4L capacity) has an "anion" feature. Which I guess means, negative ion generator? The plants don't seem to mind it one bit. In fact they seem to love it. But I wonder, is ozone a byproduct of this anion feature? I'm hoping someone here with better knowledge of chemistry can shed some light.

High time. But is it waterproof?

https://www.madinamerica.com/2021/09/ending-silence-psychedelic-therapy-abuse/ I think this article strikes the right balance (except that "therapy abuse" obviously precedes the discovery of LSD). Psychedelics aren't responsible per se for the phenomenon of abuse; though perhaps they facilitate it in certain therapeutic contexts. I think this distinction needs to be kept in mind. Otherwise we get the simplistic reduction, psychedelics = drugs = harm. I think that's the potential downside of Elise Worthington's report.

I'd have to watch it again to pick up on the ABC calling out MMA as vexatious litigants. I don't know anyone personally involved in the story. I don't know what WTGH-WTAF? stands for either. But I think I know what journalism is (or at least, used to be). I'd like to hear more about MMA and its "chilling effect" on discussion here. Any legal documentation to that effect?

I'm still not sure what the "warning about MMA" might have been -- that they're a bunch of fruitcakes? With shady financials? And the backing of a corrupt, now ousted, federal government? Seems pretty much par for the course, given the profligate proclivities of Australian political elites. Still, I don't see Tania's car rego plate on my screen. Or (unnamed) Andrew Robb's. Even if JP was doing something illegal "loudly and publicly" -- shouldn't he be extended the same journalistic courtesy as enjoyed by other citizens, including far more nefarious (and notorious) criminals? It seems to me that JP was just low-hanging fruit to be trampled on by cherrypicking moral crusaders. At the end of the story, I still don't have enough context or information to have an opinion on JP. If a public warning about JP were in order, then that warning would be better heeded had the ABC at least pretended to care about journalistic standards, IMO. What bothers me most is that the ABC didn't report any of the positive reforms and progressive directions of contemporary psychedelic therapy. Chacruna Institute, for one, has been vociferous in calling out the issue of sexual predation and economic exploitation (particularly of First Nations peoples) and has implemented various programs accordingly. On balance, I'd have preferred to hear more about the ten-second, organic-apple-juice method.

It's been decades since I worked as a journalist. I haven't seen the subject of an investigation's number plate openly displayed in any television media report in all that time, I don't think. It may be no skin off Julian's nose, so to speak, but where's the professional courtesy? Granted, there are bigger problems with this 4 Corners report than potential threats to privacy. In any case, I thought that the license plate issue might be useful in bringing a complaint against the ABC, if one were pending. It suggests a degree of overt hostility, rather than journalistic (ahem) impartiality.

Planted this fat beast out on the edge of a bushland reserve on a friend's property. I last saw it 6-12 months ago, with 4 or 5 lush green cucumber pups, nary a blemish in sight. Now this. Are those ... bite marks?

Looking for a fricii specimen that won't break the bank. Cash or trade.

spineless opuntia (prickly pear) is my preferred rootstock at the moment, at least for lophs. is your black bamboo the running or clumping kind? I'm looking for a non-invasive variety to grow
